Getting started

Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter

In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of battery or AC adapter can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the situation.

NiMH batteries (Rechargeable batteries)Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However, charging the batteries repeatedly before using up their capacity will shorten the life of the batteries per charge gradually.

AA (R6) alkaline batteriesWhen you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries, which are easy to obtain anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you can take may vary considerably depending on the battery manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc.

AC adapterAn optional Olympus CAMEDIA-brand AC adapter allows you to power your digital camera from a common AC wall outlet. Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as downloading or printing out of images. Use an AC adapter designed to operate on the AC voltage in the area the camera is being used. Consult your nearest Olympus dealer or Service center for details.

• Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the camera’s internal settings or functions.

• The life of batteries may vary according to the type of battery, manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc.

• Power is consumed continuously during the conditions below. This could shorten the life of the batteries.

• When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended period of time.

• Repeated zoom adjustments.• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway. • When the camera is connected to a PC or printer.

• Carefully read the AC adapter’s instructions before use.• When using an AC adapter, the AC adapter supplies power to the

camera even if batteries are loaded in the camera. The AC adapter does not charge batteries in the camera.

About the internal memory and the cardImages taken are stored in the internal memory.You can also use an optional xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this manual) to store images. The card has greater capacity than the internal memory, and so, is able to store more images. The card is convenient, for example, when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.

Internal memory basics

The internal memory corresponds to a film of normal camera for recording pictures you have taken.Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased, overwritten, and/or edited on a PC. The internal memory cannot be replaced or removed from the camera.

Relationship between the internal memory and the card

The monitor displays which type of the memory (internal or card) is being used for shooting and displaying images.

• The internal memory and the card cannot be used at the same time.• When the card is inserted, the internal memory is disabled.• When you want to use the internal memory, remove the card.• You can copy all the image data stored in the internal memory to a card.

Shooting

Auto-flash (No indication)The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the subject.

Red-eye reduction flash ( )The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.

• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.

• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

Fill-in flash ( )The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).

• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

The subject’s eyes appear red.

TIPS • Resolution

The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.

• Resolution and picture size on a computer screenWhen a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 x 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 x 768 (such as 1280 x 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

• The memory capacity listed in the table is approximate.• The number of remaining pictures may change according to the subject

or factors like whether print reservations have been made or not. In certain instances, the number of remaining pictures displayed on the monitor does not change even when you take pictures or stored images are erased.

6 Print setting (DPOF)With print reservation

Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/time information) with the pictures stored on the card.

Only the images stored on the card can be reserved to print. Insert the card recording the images into the camera before making print reservation.

With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a print shop that supports DPOF. DPOF is a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras. You can print out pictures automatically, at home or in a print shop, by storing such data as which pictures you wish to print and the number of prints on a card. Pictures taken with print reservation can be printed using the following procedures.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible print shopYou can print the pictures using the print reservation data.

Printing using a DPOF-compatible printerPrinting is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without using a PC. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual.A PC card adapter may also be necessary.

TIPS Picture size and printingThe resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease. If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as possible when taking the pictures. "Selecting a record mode" (P.57)

• DPOF reservations set by another device cannot be changed by this camera. Make changes using the original device.

• If a card contains DPOF reservations set by another device, entering reservations using this camera may overwrite the previous reservations.

• The allowable number of pictures for DPOF reservation is 999 frames per card.

• Print reservation may not be available if there is insufficient card memory. In this case, the CARD FULL message is displayed.

• Not all functions may be available on all printers or at all print shops. • Print reservation may take considerable time when saving printing data

to a card.
